Push and release the Power button to switch the unit on or off. The LCD screen will light up when the unit is on. Tuning Tuning the EVOKE-1 is very simple.
8 Retuning your unit You can re-tune your unit at any time using the autotune process. You may wish to do this if a new multiplex is launched or you move your unit to another room. You do not need to perform an autotune to pick up new stations within a multiplex you are listening to as your EVOKE-1 monitors and refreshes the list of available stations automatically when you tune to a station in that multiplex. The following two options are available: 1.
Selecting a station Once you have tuned your EVOKE-1 you select the digital radio station you want to listen to using the Tune knob. If you have assigned stations to presets you can also select them directly by pressing the relevant numbered button (1-6), see Storing and recalling presets on page 10. 1. The top line of the display shows the name of the currently selected station. Turn the Tune knob to see the names of other stored stations on the bottom line of the display.
10 Signal quality Mode Channel Time and date Multiplex name Displays the signal quality for the signal to which you are tuned. As a guide values from 85 to 100 indicate good reception, 70 to 84 borderline reception and 0 to 69 poor reception. You can attempt to improve this signal quality by adjusting your aerial position using the Tuning aid described on page 12. Displays the mode of the current service, Stereo or Mono and the data rate at which the audio signal is being transmitted.
Advanced setup options EVOKE-1 has a number of advanced features which enable you to change the order and number of stations on the station list, use a tuning aid, apply Dynamic Range Control (DRC) and view the software version. Press the Setup button to enter the advanced setup menu, turn the Tune knob to scroll through the following menu options and push to select that option. Station Order This option enables you to choose the order in which stations appear as you scroll through the station list.
12 Tuning aid This option provides a signal level display which you can use to find the best position for your radio and aerial. When you select this option, the bottom line of the display shows the channel identifier and frequency. See page 15 for useful addresses which you can contact to find the channel identifier for a multiplex you want to receive. 1. Turn the Tune knob to scroll through different channels and push the Tune knob to select one.
Resetting your EVOKE-1 A reset option is provided to enable you to reset your unit. This removes all presets, stored stations and favourite station settings and resets all options to defaults. Performing an autotune process will solve most problems but you may want to use this option if you move house or want to restore default values to options you have changed. To select the reset option: 1. Press and hold the Setup button for more than two seconds. The display will show ‘Press Tune to confirm reset’.
Guide to digital radio Your EVOKE-1 enables you to receive and listen to DAB radio programmes. Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) uses digital signals rather than traditional analogue signals enabling near CD-quality audio with virtually interference-free reception. DAB also enables broadcasters to transmit additional data along with the audio including other audio channels, text and in the future, perhaps computer data and images. Digital radio is broadcast as groups of data called ensembles or multiplexes.

Troubleshooting This section gives some of the most likely solutions to problems you might have with your EVOKE-1. I can’t get any sound Make sure your EVOKE-1 is plugged in and switched on as explained on page 7. Check that the volume is not set too low, see page 8 for details. Ensure that you have completed the Autotune procedure to find digital radio stations as explained on pages 7 and 8. Display says ‘No stations available’ Check that your aerial is connected and fully extended.
Aerial advice Your EVOKE-1 is supplied with a telescopic DAB aerial. This is an indoor aerial which is designed to give good reception in areas with good to moderate DAB signal strength. In areas with poor DAB coverage or poor signal strength you may want to consider using a loft mounted or external aerial. To find out about coverage in your area contact one of the organisations listed on page 15. The following options may help you improve reception in your area.
